JOHNNY CLEGG

Johnny Clegg - dancer, Anthropologist, singer, songwriter, academic, activist and French knight. Whilst all of these tags are fitting, none of them can accurately describe the energetic, passionate human being who has become one of South Africa's greatest musical exports. He has campaigned against the injustice of apartheid South Africa and been instrumental in putting the new South Africa on the map as a cultural ambassador. More info on Johnny's life and achievements is available here.

Recently awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of the Witwatersrand for his contribution to music, Johnny, a former Grammy nominee, still tours regularly, both at home and abroad. Be sure not to miss his dynamic live act should it come your way.

Johnny is currently travelling between studios in Johannesburg and Europe, recording tracks for his 2010 release which he hopes will be commercially available by March of this year.

This site contains biographies, videos, audio clips, tour schedules and links to merchandising. Work is underway to make individual songs available for DRM-free download from this site in the near future.
